■Living Q & A: Will changing jobs cause problems with my status of residence?
外国人暮らしのQ＆A「違う業種の会社で働くことになったが在留資格上問題ないか？」

I currently have the status of residence of Engineer / Specialist in Humanities / International Services, and am
working at company which operates pharmacies. I have been told that I am going to be working at a foodlogistics company soon. These are two very different kinds of companies, so I would like to know whether thiswill be a problem with my status of residence.
In Japan, the activities authorized for each status of residence (zairyū shikaku / 在留資格) are specified in the tables appended to the Immigration
Control and Refugee Recognition Act. For holders of the status of residence of Engineer / Specialist in Humanities / International Services(gijutsu / jinbun chishiki / kokusai gyōmu / 技術・人文知識・国際業務), 'duties which require skills or knowledge in the... natural science fields, or...
humanities fields, or duties which require the ways of thinking or sensitivity founded on foreign culture' are specified as appropriate activities.
The content of the activities authorized for the status of residence is not the content of the business activities in which the employing company isengaged, but rather the content of the work in which the individual will actually be engaged within the company. For example, if the work in which
you are to engage at your new workplace is related to judicial affairs or accounting, marketing, interpreting or translation, etc., and is the same asthat in which you were engaged at your previous workplace, there should not be an issue with your status of residence. The activities permitted
under your status of residence are the actual duties in which the individual employee will be engaged.
To confirm whether or not the content of your new job will be a problem in terms of authorized activities for your status of residence, you can apply
for a Certificate of Authorized Employment (shūrō shikaku shōmeisho / 就労資格証明書) to the Immigration Services Bureau with jurisdiction
over the area in which you live. While this procedure is not compulsory, it can provide a sense of security when you start at your new workplace. In
addition, when the time comes to extend your period of stay, the Immigration Services Bureau will already know about your new job, hopefully
making the extension application procedure smoother.
Also note that if your employer also changes when changing jobs, you are required to submit a Notification of the affiliated (contracting)organization (shozoku [keiyaku] kikan ni kan suru todokede / 所属(契約)機関に関する届出) within 14 days.
For more information on what you need to do when changing jobs, please consult your nearest Immigration
Services Bureau office or the Immigration Information Center (0570-013904), or a gyōsei shoshi (行政書士,
certified administrative procedures legal specialist) familiar with immigration procedures.

Read the Flood Hazard Map

洪水・内水ハザードマップを読もう

Flood hazard maps for each ward are available to download from the City of Nagoya
website (see page 6). To find the right one, you'll need to know the kanji for your ward.

Here, we will look at some expressions to help you navigate the map itself and findout the flood risk for your area.
洪水 kōzui (flood, caused by the bursting of a river bank, etc. Also called 外
水氾濫 / gaisui hanran)
内水 naisui (flooding caused when the volume of water from torrential rain
is more than drains and sewers can handle. Also referred to as 内水氾濫 /naisui hanran.)

Be Prepared for Storm and Flood-related Disasters 風水害に備えよう
Typhoons (taifū / 台風), localized torrential rain (shūchū gōu / 集中豪雨) and tornadoes (tatsumaki/ 竜巻) are examples of meteorological phenomena that often occur at this time of year that can cause
storm and flood-related disasters (fūsuigai / 風水害).
Don't wait until a typhoon approaches, heavy rain begins to fall, or you are told to evacuate, toprepare. There are steps you can take in your everyday life to help yourself to be prepared if an
emergency situation arises, such as picking up something you might need in an emergency when you
go shopping. Resources such as flood hazard maps are available to help you find out the risks
beforehand and prepare accordingly.

Types of storm and flood-related disasters
Flooding (suigai / 水害)

 Floods (kōzui / 洪水) / external inundation (gaisui hanran / 外水氾濫): Flooding of residential areas, etc. causedby the bursting of a river bank, or a river overflowing due to heavy rain.

 Internal inundation (naisui hanran / 内水氾濫): Flooding which occurs when drains and sewers are not able tocope with the sudden large volume of water generated by localized heavy rain.

Storm surge (takashio / 高潮): An extreme rise in the sea level as a typhoon approaches. The low air pressure of the typhoon draws thesea upwards, while the strong winds drive the water to surge forward.

Landslide / sediment-related disasters (dosha saigai / 土砂災害): Includes debris flows (dosekiryū / 土石流, a flow of mud, rock, sand,soil and water from mountains and rivers), landslides (jisuberi / 地すべり) and slope failures (gake kuzure / がけ崩れ).

Help yourself to be preparedThings to do day to day Keep stormwater drains and inlets clean Remove or put away anything around your house that could beblown away
 Keep your valuables and important documents upstairs
 Confirm the location of designated emergency assembly points
and designated evacuation shelters, and the route you will taketo get there.
 Familiarize yourself with the inundation risk around the area
where you live and work with the flood hazard map (see inset)

Get information
Establish how you will obtain information in a disaster, e.g. via TVor radio, through the emergency speaker system, from thewebsite, e-mail notification service or SNS of the Japan Meteorological Agency or your local government

Help one another
Value day-to-day interaction with your neighbors, and help one
another when an emergency occurs

Flood hazard maps
Areas at risk of flooding due toheavy rain, etc. are indicated in the
Flood Hazard Map (洪水・内水ハザードマップ) for each ward, issued by theCity of Nagoya. (See cover for an
example.)Use the maps to check the floodrisk for the area around yourhome, and think about where toevacuate if the need arises. Maps
are in Japanese, but if you can reada map and find your place of residence, work, etc., you can refer to thecolor key diagram to see the projected depth for that location,compared to the height of a car, a house, and a multi-storey building.
Maps contain projections for a number of scenarios, for example if ariver were to burst its banks, or if torrential rain were to cause internal
inundation. See Read the Flood Hazard Map on page 5 for more
information.
Flood hazard maps can be viewed on the City of Nagoya website athttps://bit.ly/3h8b9hD.

Special Exhibition: Botanical Story fromthe Nagoya Castle to Art Nouveau

特別展「名古屋城からはじまる植物物語」
Built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1609,
Nagoya Castle was passed down as
the residence of the Owari
Tokugawa family for 260 years. The
beautiful panel paintings, executedby artists of the Kano school, were
only seen by a very limited numberof people prior the Imperial
Household Agency granting thecastle to the City of Nagoya in
1930. A number of the Kano school
artists from Edo and Kyoto whogathered in Owari to participate in
the production of the panel
paintings, however, remained in
Owari afterward, and several of the
Hokusai Manga, 1814
main artists frequently visited Owari
Katsushika Hokusai
Collection of Soukaen Bunko
and taught Kano school techniques,spreading the school's style to Owari.
Herbalism (本草学) developed greatly in the 19th century, withherbal scholars learning the study of plant anatomy introduced
from Europe, and combining the artistic techniques acquired from
Kano school sketches with observations made through the use ofsuch equipment as microscopes to produce beautiful botanicalillustrations.
From its roots in the Edo-period flower and bird paintings by Kano
school artists and other painters of Owari, this exhibition explores
the subsequent fusion of this tradition with Western botanical art,
and its connections to Japonisme and Art Nouveau. It also looks at
Owari-born herbalist Ito Keisuke (1803-1901) who studied under
German botanist Philipp Franz von Siebold, and of whom Siebold
said, 'As I am Keisuke's teacher, Keisuke is mine.'
Enjoy the dazzling drama that unfolds in this botanical tale thatbegins with Nagoya Castle.
When: Until Sun. 29 Aug. (Weekdays 10:00 - 17:30; Sat., Sun. &national holidays 10:00 - 17:00; Last entry 30 minutes before

When a patient (kansensha / 感染者) is diagnosed as being infected with COVID-19, staff at the health center (hoken sentā / 保健センター)
in each ward investigate the patient's movements during the 14 days prior to the onset of infection in an effort to determine the source of
infection.
In addition, in order to prevent the spread of infection, the patient's movements over the 2 days prior to the onset of infection are confirmed,
and, once contacts / subjects for health monitoring (kenkō kansatsu sha / 健康観察者) have been identified (people who have been face toface within arm's reach [roughly 2 meters] of the infected individual for several minutes or longer, etc.), the contacts are asked to refrain fromgoing out for any non-essential, non-urgent matters during the 14-day health monitoring period (kenkō kansatsu kikan / 健康観察期間),
and health center staff phone contacts regularly to confirm their condition.
If a contact reports any symptoms indicating possible infection, a PCR test is promptly carried out, and, if the result is positive (yōsei / 陽性),the patient is admitted to hospital.
If a monitored contact does not develop symptoms within 14 days, the monitoring ends.

International Center volunteers.
Hakken means "discover"inJapanese. Whole issues areavailable on the NIC website.

Popular meeting spots in Nagoya –Part 2: Gold Clock & Silver Clock
Many people come and go to the Nagoya Station
area. A tall golden clock stands on the concourse
near the Sakura-dori Gate of the JR Nagoya
Station. In front of this Gold Clock are four
escalators connecting to the 2nd floor of the JR
Nagoya Takashimaya Department Store, so you caneasily find it.
The Gold Clock is a very convenient meeting spot
as it is located near the JR ticket gates with easy
access to the underground malls, Higashiyama and
Sakura-dori subway lines, Meitetsu and Kintetsu
railroads, as well as the Nagoya City Bus.

On the other hand, Silver Clock is located on the opposite
side, near the Taiko-dori Gate of the station. As the clock
stands between the North and South ticket gates of the
Shinkansen bullet train, it is useful to meet here if you aregoing to take the Shinkansen. Behind the clock, there is a
big LCD (liquid crystal display) to entertain you with avariety of images while you wait for your friends.
Why not meet a friend at either the Gold or Silver Clockand explore the station area and various places of interestin the neighborhood?
